2D Mesh nodes can be inserted, deleted, or moved.


2D Mesh elements can be edited in the following ways:

  • Elements can be converted between linear and quadratic.
  • The type of element can be changed from a 3 node element to a 4 node element by merging triangles.
  • A 4 node element can be converted to a 3 node element by splitting the 4 node element.
  • Elements can be refined automatically.
  • The material assigned to an element can be changed.
  • Poorly shaped boundary triangles can be automatically selected for deletion.
  • Breaklines can be inserted into the mesh
